I think Stone might've written this one about Mike McCready.

The two were childhood friends long before Mike joined PJ. But a few years after the band made it big, Mike went through a tough time with health problems and addiction to pills and booze.

According to interviews I've seen, MM distanced himself emotionally from the other band members for a while, which could be reflected by these lyrics:

What are you running from? Taking pills to get along. Creating walls to call your own. So no one catches you drifting off and doing all the things that we all do.
